In the 60s of the last century, Soviet archaeologists discovered a center of Paleolithic culture in the Southern Urals. The rock paintings of the Kapova Cave have become a sensation in the world of science. There are very few places where evidence of the life and work of ancient people has been preserved. Thanks to the lighting equipment of the film crew of the popular science film, many new drawings were discovered at that time. And now, 50 years later, modern documentary filmmakers, together with the head of research, associate professor of Moscow State University, Doctor of Science Vladislav Zhitenev, are making new discoveries, and in the Bashkir State Opera and Ballet Theater, young choreographer Rinat Abushakhmanov and composer Nikolai Popov are creating a unique production, a one-act popular science ballet "On what are the stones silent about" according to real research by archaeologists.
